Bus drivers can talk to their passengers and connect with them that way. As a train operator I am locked in my train cab and I have learned that a big smile goes a long way and that is how I connect to people! It works with my regular passengers, police officers, fare inspectors, supervisors and lots of others that I see regularly along my route!

Here is an example, this very nice lady I see everyday! She is trying to sell some newspapers to make money, I always wave at her and give her a big smile! She loves it and it makes her day just as much as it does mine! My little way of being a train angel to brighten some one’s day! I get great joy in doing that!

Now this is what I call two pounds of love! I am making a teddy bear in peach which if a favorite color of a bus driver friend that I see every day at Gateway Transit Center! She loves my train pets and always makes me chuckle and smile! She was a candidate for bus operator of the year but didn’t make it. I just now realized that Sunday starts the new sign up and I won’t see her at Gateway so I will have to figure out how to get her gift to her.

Have a wonderful weekend! Off to go and watch a favorite show or two!
